Highland Lakes · 15 min to Marble Falls · 20 to Horseshoe Bay
Marble Falls & Horseshoe Bay vacation rentals on Lake LBJ
Town-angle satellite for Marble Falls and Horseshoe Bay searchers: sleep on the water in Kingsland (private boat dock, spa, game room), then drive ~15 minutes to Marble Falls Main Street or ~20 to Horseshoe Bay dining. Same Stay Beautiful lakehouse as the Lake LBJ hub — this page is about the drive to town, not a resort marina.
Kingsland waterfront, Marble Falls dinner, Horseshoe Bay close
People searching Marble Falls vacation rentals or Horseshoe Bay lake houses often want the same thing: Highland Lakes water, a house that sleeps the family, and a town close enough for groceries and a reservation. Stay Beautiful sits in Kingsland on constant-level Lake LBJ with a private boat dock — then Marble Falls is about 15 minutes and Horseshoe Bay about 20. Austin is about 75 minutes for a Friday arrival.
A Horseshoe Bay resort stay puts you in a marina and a key-fob crowd. This is a residential stretch of lake with your own slip, a new covered spa, and Graham’s game room when twelve people need a second act. Use the towns when you want them. Come home to undeveloped water.
This is not a second Lake LBJ hub. For the full home story use the Kingsland / Lake LBJ page; for dock lifts and swim depth use the waterfront private-dock page. Here we answer Marble Falls and Horseshoe Bay proximity only.

A weekend that uses both towns
Dock mornings in Kingsland. Marble Falls or Horseshoe Bay when you want a table. Sunset from the upper deck.
Day 101
Arrive, unpack, walk the dock
Friday traffic from Austin is usually under an hour and a half. Check in at 3:00 pm. Coffee on the upper deck, then straight to the private boat dock — the lake is constant-level, so the water is where you left it. Grill, then Graham’s game room after dark.
Day 202
A full lake day — or a Hill Country loop
Swim, fish, or launch from the slip. Two lift spots at the house — one manual jet-ski lift and one electric lift. No boat? Ask us about concierge rentals that deliver to the dock on the water, or stay on the paddleboard, floating mat, and trampoline. Afternoon option: Marble Falls for lunch, then a winery loop 20–40 minutes out. Back for golden hour on the sunset deck.
Day 303
Slow morning, Kingsland breakfast, checkout
Checkout is 11:00 am. That still leaves a dock coffee and a last look at undeveloped water. Groceries and breakfast in Kingsland are minutes away if the house fridge is empty.
